The T20I will mark the return of international cricket at the Eden Gardens, which last hosted the Day/Night Test between India against Bangladesh in November 2019, before the pandemic struck. The state government has allowed 70 per cent capacity for the first match, which means around 40,000 fans can come to the stadium to watch the competition.
Eden will also host the West Indies team for the third and final match of the ODI series on February 12 next year.
